"At Harris’ you’ll travel back to a time when steak with a strong martini was the go-to combo. And you’ll like it because the throwback quotient at this classic steakhouse is the best thing about it. That and the steaks, which are corn-fed and sourced from the Midwest, dry-aged for three weeks in the restaurant, and then mesquite-fire grilled." - Dianne de Guzman
"Harris’ is a classic steakhouse in Nob Hill with white tablecloths, live jazz, and servers in ties and vests dropping off free bread rolls. Anyone who once had quarterly standing reservations at Peter Luger will love it here. After a generous serving of red meat, creamed spinach, and a big ol’ wedge salad, finish off with a slice of cheesecake. It’s dense, smooth as a freshly zamboni-ed Rockefeller rink, and has a thick graham cracker crust, just how New Yorkers like it." - julia chen 1, patrick wong
"When House Of Prime Rib is booked—or when you just want a classic American steakhouse experience with a huge slab of red meat and white tablecloth service—get to Harris’ Restaurant. This place checks all the old-school charm boxes, down to the free bread service and live jazz in the lounge next to the dining room. You’re obviously here for the great steak, but the sides aren’t as consistent. Stick with the cheesy scalloped potatoes and you’ll leave happy, and always round things out with the cheesecake." - julia chen 1, patrick wong, lani conway
"If you’re having dinner with a boss you hate, might as well get a medium-rare ribeye out of it. Take advantage of their corporate card at Harris’ in Nob Hill. The classic steakhouse checks all the boxes—free bread, white tablecloths, and a lounge with live music. Sit back and allow yourself to be wined and dined by someone who should definitely be making less money than you." - julia chen 1
"The massive hunks of meat on display in the windows at Harris’ let you know this place takes their beef seriously. The Nob Hill steakhouse has heavy curtains lining the wall, big murals everywhere, and, as you’ve probably guessed, excellent steak. There are eight classic, mostly dry-aged options, plus some wagyu and prime rib, but we like the juicy New York steak the most—it’s best enjoyed from one of the big leather banquettes with a martini in hand (and the accompanying sidecar in the other). Meat aside, you’re also here to soak in the live jazz or toast to a big life event while sitting in a comfy booth that’s older than your refrigerator." - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez, patrick wong
